Activity after transfer during pregnancy?

Hi ladies,
So I’ve been lucky enough to be able to step down from my stressful job in corporate America thanks to my hubby. I have taken a part time nannying/dog walking gig to make a little extra money and I have really been enjoying it. Quite different than a desk job though! With my last transfer (chemical pregnancy) I did bed rest for one day then sat at my desk (I worked from home) that whole week and did pretty much nothing. Now I am walking the dog for 30-45 minutes a day, picking the kids up for school, dropping off at sports etc.

So much has gone wrong for us I am just hoping and praying that this next transfer coming up soon is the one! My question is regarding the physical activities. I am so anxious to do everything perfectly. Does anyone have any opinion/advice on the days after the transfer? I walk a dog that’s very active and he sometimes pulls but he’s very sweet. I’m on bed rest day of transfer but plan to presume my nannying/dog walking the next day. From what I’ve read- it’s not a big deal but I’m such a worry wart I’m having nightmares of any physical activity. Yes, I know, it’s just a walk but we usually go for about 40-45 minutes each day. Hoping this won’t affect implantation? Same with pregnancy. Of course I’m already nervous to walk the dog or have him pull when I am pregnant. I know plenty of pregnant people walk dogs are busy etc.

Ugh I feel like I am being ridiculous but I truly just want to do everything RIGHT. Any opinions/advice?

The journal articles I read encouraged light exercise after the transfer and then returning to normal levels (consistent with what you were doing pre pregnancy) when you felt comfortable throughout pregnancy. I rode the bike and lifted weights throughout my pregnancy and exercised lightly- only riding an exercise bike during my 2WW. Good luck!!

I honestly don’t know what is best, but during the first week after transfer, I hardly did anything, and the second week, I tried to stay as relaxed as possible. I knew if anything negative happened after I did something too strenuous, I’d never forgive myself. BUT I was a nervous wreck-we’d tried for 6 years, this was our 2nd ER and our only healthy PGS embryo-so you could say I was paranoid. My doctor said as long as I didn’t do anything strenuous, like running, I should be fine :-) My little guy is due in November:-)) Good luck to you!!!
